I think the problem is not with the linker, but in your use of objcopy
to convert your ELF file to a raw binary file.
1) What arguments are you giving to mipsel-linux-objcopy?
i use objcopy as follow(the brec_flash is elf file)
mipsel-linux-objcopy -O binary brec_flash brec_flash.bin
2) What is the output from mipsel-linux-objdump -h run on your
intermediate ELF object file?
i use mipsel-linux-objdump -h brec_flash and get messages as follow
brec_flash: file format elf32-tradlittlemips
